Chapter 6: 4. First Meet
Preeti's Point of view
"wake up.." mummy is calling me while shaking my body.
"hmm..bus 5 minutes mummy (only 5 minuets)" I replied her in half sleep while turning to the other side.
"Wake up preeti.. aaj tumhe ladke wake dkhne aane wale hai.(Today kappor's are coming), how much more you sleep". mummy is now shake my body harshly.
Listening this i 'm wide awake.
"What's the time." I asked her hurriedly.
"It's 8 a.m already, now get up and get ready. They are coming any time soon." mummy said and walk out from my room.
I get up from the bed and make my way to the washroom.
.........
When i came downstairs whole house looks like zoo. Everyone is walking here and there, doing the preparation to welcome kapoor's family.
"preeti what are you doing there, come help with us." Shivani di calling me from the hall.
My house neither big nor small, just perfect for 5 people. We already done all preparations yesterday, I wonder what kind of preparations are left.
"yeah.. i'm coming." I replied her from the stairs.
...........
When the time passes my heart beat is increased with the time, my hands is sweating, yes I'm that kind of nervous. I don't know what to do with my nervous. Clock reads 10 a.m of the morning. A Car honked outside the house and I know they came.
Mummy, papa, anshul and jiju welcome them inside the house.
I was in my room sitting at the corner of my bed while Shivani di is in a kitchen.
Shivani di came to my room and said "go get ready. They come and don't worry everything will be fine."
Shivani di consoled me ,sensing my nervousness .
I give her a small smile and get up to change my dress. I changed into my red net anarkali suit which fits me perfectly.
After changing into my dress i wear matching earing, heels and do a little makeup. I set my dupatta in one shoulder.I wait in my room for someone to call me. I can't even tell my condition to anyone. I'm nervous like hell. I don't know what's wrong with me, I never feel nervous like this before even in my first job interview or first bord exam.
Shivani di and Anshul come to my room to take me to the downstairs. I was sitting at the corner of my bed. Shivani di held my hand and said "Come, it's time to meet him."
I got up slowly and started walking towards the room's door.

"He is handsome." Anshul said to me mockingly.
I lower my eyelids and blush.
" stop pulling her leg, she's already nervous." Shivani di scold Anshul and hit his head.
"what..? , I'm just telling her truth.." Anshul shrugged his shoulders.
When I come to the living room with Anshul and Shivani Di. I do not let my eyelids up. I don't have a courage to look everybody's expressions. I greet everyone. A lady and a girl who is younger than Anshul I guess, come forward and hug.
,'okay may be the younger one is Siddharth's sister and the elder one is his mother.
I felt little comfortable but It didn't help to get away my nervousness.
Shivani di makes me sit between Neeta anty and keerti (Siddharth's mother and sister).
Papa sit between Akhil uncle (Siddharth's father) and Malhotra uncle. Anit jiju and Anshul sit on the chair beside keerti. Mummy and Shivani di sit beside neeta anty. Siddharth sit in front of me on the sofa.I keep my head down in all process but i can feel his eyes on me, it's give me a different sensation which I never felt before.
Nita aunty ask me many questions like what i'm doing, my likes, dislikes,she asked me about my future plans and what i think about the marriage. I answered all her questions. In this whole process I don't look to Siddharth, I mean I sit in front of him an hour now but still don't know how he looks alike.
"Arrey aapne to kuch liya hi nhi." Maa asked Nita anty with a smile.
Nita anty took her snacks plate and thanks mummy.
" I guess we all know about Preeti. I think we should let Preeti and Siddharth talk alone. It's better they know each other.. After all they are the one who are going to get marry." akhil uncle said to everyone.
I got suddenly nervous that time . Many questions started buzzing in my head again like what will his first question, What he is going to ask me , What i'm going to ask him, do I like him, heck does he like me and most important will our thoughts are match to each other?
Shivani di, keerti, I and Siddharth start walking to the varanda(lawn). Two chairs and a table are already there.
"You guys talk if you need anything just call me."shivani di said to me and Siddharth.
"all the best to both of you for your interview." keerti said pulling I and Siddhath's legs.
After that Shivani di and keerti leave me and Siddharth alone.
Siddharth and i sit on the chair . Siddarth sit on my left side.
"Hey..don't nervous be comfortable please." he whispered in his deep masculine voice.
..and very first time with a lots of courage I lifted my eyelids up and look directly into his dark coffee brown eyes. He is looking very handsome like a greek God with a muscular body. He has a very define noes and a sharp jawline. He wears a dark blue blazer, white button up shirt, dark blue jeans and black shoes. he looks like a model. I never saw a handsome man like him before.

"I know this is all new for both of us and I'm nervous as well. I don't know what I want to ask you but I know one thing that I want to tell you everything about me." He whispered while looking down.
"As you know we lives in NEW YORK (U.S.A). We had our own company which is run by me and my father. I studied in business and completed my graduation and masters from LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL. Later on I joined my father's company as an employe for an experience." He tell everything about his studies. I look on my lap like this is the most interesting thing in the world.
"I had some bad habits in my college and school life. I also dated many girls in my college life and slept with them but never had a serious relationship with anyone. I was a kind of play boy. But when I joined company I leave everything behind and focused in my career. I also drink sometime but not regular, mostly when I am emotionally week or going through some stress. You can say I only drink in my vulnerable state. I don't know why I am telling you all this. But my heart is saying me to tell you everything so I just did."he said.
I look at him surprisingly, I can see a honesty in his eyes. He let out everything about him honestly. He didn't hide anything about him. How could a person to be such honest in his first meeting. I respect him more now.
We both looked at eachother for a while. I looked at him with respect while he is looking at me like finding something in my eyes.
"Tell me something about yourself." He asked me when I didn't say anything.
"I completed my school and graduation from here, I mean from SAHARANPUR. I like reading books, listening music, watching movies." I tell him honestly because there is nothing much about me to tell.
"Don't you like travelling?" he asked me.
"yes .." I nodded my head.
"Thank god because I love travelling so much." He said to me with a glint in his eyes.
We both chuckled softly.
"Maa told me that you had done preparations for Indian government exams?" He asked me.
"I had done but I am not a sharp student like my elder sister and brother. I tried many times but failed miserably." I said while looking down because I'm afraid if I looked his mesmerized coffee brown deep eyes I could lost in them and I could not afford it right now.
"No one is same. Some have other talents and I know you are talented in other things." He said softly.
I know he is saying that to make me feel batter but the thing is no one say this to me before.
"I know you are feeling nervous right now because I'm feeling the same. May be more than you but I want to know you." He whispered.
I looked at him and he is already looking at me. We both looked at eachother for a while.
I broke the gaze first and looked down.
"There is nothing much about me to tell. I grew here in this house. Never had a big dreams just wanted to do a simple job so I can support papa in his bills. Sometimes I feel nervous to interact with new people." I said still looking down.
"What makes you more nervous about them...?" He whispered.
I can feel his gaze on me.
"The thought they will judge me without knowing me." I whispered.
"But what if the person is not judging you but wants to know you and feeling the same emotions which you are feeling right now." He whispered looking at me.
I turned my head to him and looked at him. I saw something is his eyes. The same emotions which I am feeling right now. The same fear of rejection which I am feeling right now.
Is it possible that the person give you much more important than you deserve, in a very first meeting.
"Are you still nervous?" He asked me softly looking directly into my eyes.
How do he know I am feeling nervous.
I turned my head from him.
I shaked my head as 'no..' while looking down.
I didn't feel nervous as much as before but I am still feeling a nervous.
We both sitting there like this. None of us said anything.
"You can ask me anything, if you want." he asked me.
I shake my head negatively.
"Not about my playboy thing. "
"You told me everything and I trust you." I said turning my head to look at him and he is looking at me already.
He is looking at me like he looks direct into my soul. We both looking at each other for good time and I can feel my cheeks are red now.
I turn my head and he turn his head too.
"I think we should leave now, everyone is waiting for us." He said looking at me.
I nodded my head as yes and we both got up from our seats at same time.
